From 4dfd5cd83dc4458049c7f6eb9c4f361acc4239ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amol Grover Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2020 22:24:18 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] rculist: Add brackets around cond argument in __list_check_rcu macro Passing a complex lockdep condition to __list_check_rcu results in false positive lockdep splat due to incorrect expression evaluation. For example, a lockdep check condition `cond1 || cond2` is evaluated as `!cond1 || cond2 && !rcu_read_lock_any_held()` which, according to operator precedence, evaluates to `!cond1 || (cond2 && !rcu_read_lock_any_held())`. This would result in a lockdep splat when cond1 is false and cond2 is true which is logically incorrect. Signed-off-by: Amol Grover Acked-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) Signed-off-by: Paul E.
